I've never really played D&D (though I want to), but what happens to the player IRL if, like in the Drawf's case, they die? Do you just walk out or what?
Depends on the DM, but I can't imagine him just being kicked out. After all, most D&D groups are made up of friends, so the DM would have to be a total dick to do that. Some things I've seen while playing:
>He could be given a new character and get written into the story for the next session.
>He could be allowed to observe further sessions and be allowed to see the DM's notes.
In a campaign I played, a player died but was allowed to observe further games.
A few sessions later, the party found a magical timepiece that could send us forward or backward in time. I suggested going back to the point where he died and saving him. The DM had never thought of that, and made a deal with the player. So long as he kept quiet about what he knew, he could rejoin the party.
